Third Storm – The Locust Mantra (Blackened Melodic Thrash Death Metal Woah)

Third Storm – The Locust Mantra (Blackened Melodic Thrash Death Metal Woah)

  Here’s another interesting one from Sweden. I saw a bit of semi-hate concerning The Locust Mantra out there, mainly that it doesn’t “stand out,” but I’ve said it before is that always necessary? Plus, Third Storm are also much older than you’d expect so perhaps think a bit, listen harder, and see what comes […]

The Plague – Within Death (All of the Death Metal)

  I receive a lot of death metal submissions with the ole’ skull cover aesthetic. Usually you can’t expect much out of such things but I dig bones so I give any skeletal art a try just for that reason. The Plague is yet another Australian death metal outfit that got my attention for their […]

Iron Flesh – Summoning the Putrid (Melodic Putridity Metal of Death)

  Now here’s some filthy garbage even an incinerator can’t purge, though I’m still thoroughly confused as to how the band actually writes their name. It’s either “IronFlesh” or “Iron Flesh” and honestly that annoys the piss out of me. But anyway for this Christmas Eve Summoning the Putrid is a nice one since it’s […]

Lutharö – Wings of Agony (Melodic Toddler Death Metal)

  Yaaaaaaaaahhhhh (with a bit of fluctuating). That’s practically how all these albums start out, those scream from the heart vocals, I just can’t mimic the “epic” guitars and such properly with words so add those too. But damn does it feels moderately good this time for some reason WTF. I’m not sure I can […]

On Thorns I Lay – Threnos (Melodideathdoom Lol I’m a Writer)

  I’m starting to realize Lifeforce Records has this “thing” with melodic metal bands who absolutely kill in the production and presentation. Sometimes setting a niche for yourself is good, except with pornogrind. Just let those fools have their netlabels and their weird community of drum machine, family-in-the-audience shows. So back to melodic metal, in […]

Revenger – The New Mythology Vol. 1 (Singer Vacancy, Do Not Apply)

  Now here’s a curious thing. So curious I’m not sure I’ve ever discussed it. First off, let’s get the bio puke out of the way. Revenger come from Canada, and I don’t recall ever having heard of them until this release. As usual, you know me, the cover is what first got my attention, […]

Victorius – Dinosaur Warfare Legend of the Powersaurus (Seriousaurus)

I joked about this one on Facebook when I posted one of the band’s promo photos. Some of you thought it was a meme I created, but it was not. And this critical review, too, is real. Victorius is one of several German bands over the past year that have left me disappointed, but this […]
